    Contact: Michelle Bergman 818-560-8231 Disney Recognizes VoluntEARS of the Year Cast Member Mike Woodhall Receives the First-ever “Show Your Character” Award for Outstanding Volunteerism and Creation of “Disney’s OPERATION UPLIFT” BURBANK, Calif (May 7, 2003) – In honor of National Volunteer Month, Disney recognized its most outstanding VoluntEARS’ commitments to outreach and participation in community events. Since its inception in 1992, the Disney VoluntEARS program, which develops opportunities for Disney employees to contribute their time, expertise and effort to make a positive impact on the community, has served more than 200 cities, 47 states, and 24 countries on six continents. “We are proud to acknowledge and celebrate our employees who give so much of their time and effort in their communities and who embody Disney’s commitment to enable and encourage people to get involved as volunteers,” said Michael D. Eisner, chairman and CEO, The Walt Disney Company. This year, Disney awarded the first-ever “Show Your Character” award to Disneyland Resort’s Mike Woodhall for his outstanding volunteerism and support of military personnel through his creation of Disney’s OPERATION UPLIFT, a program through which employees send messages of support and thanks to U.S. servicemen and women. Disney’s OPERATION UPLIFT was started in 1995, following its successful trial during Operation Desert Storm. During that conflict, Mr. Woodhall read a letter in the newspaper from a serviceman who said that the troops didn’t get much mail, but when they did they knew people back at home cared. That struck a chord with Mr. Woodhall and he began writing to the troops to thank them for their efforts and to let them know people at home did indeed care about them.

    October 13, 2020 Robert A. Iger Executive Chairman and Chairman of the Board The Walt Disney Company 500 South Buena Vista Street Burbank, CA 91521 Bob Chapek Chief Executive Officer The Walt Disney Company 500 South Buena Vista Street Burbank, CA 91521 Dear Mr. Iger and Mr. Chapek: I write to express concern about The Walt Disney Company’s (Disney) recent decision to lay off 28,000 workers during an economic recession1 while reinstating pay rates for highly compensated senior executives.2 In the years leading up to this crisis, your company prioritized the enrichment of executives and stockholders through hefty compensation packages3, and billions of dollars’ worth of dividend payments4 and stock buybacks,5 all of which weakened Disney’s financial cushion and ability to retain and pay its front-line workers amid the pandemic. While I appreciate that your company has continued to provide health-care benefits to furloughed workers for the past six months,6 thousands of laid off employees will now have to worry about how to keep food on the table7 as executives begin receiving hefty paychecks again.8 I would like to know whether Disney’s financial decisions have impacted the company’s 1 Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, “Statement from Josh D’Amaro, Chairman, Disney Parks, Experiences and Products (DPEP),” September 29, 2020, https://dpep.disney.com/update/. 2 Deadline, “Disney & Fox Corporation End Temporary Executive Pay Cuts Related To COVID-19 Pandemic,” Nellie Andreeva and Dominic Patten, August 20, 2020, https://deadline.com/2020/08/disney-fox-coronavirus-pay- reductions-restored-1203018873/.

  • Upholding the Disney Utopia Through American Tragedy: a Study of the Walt Disney Company’S Responses to Pearl Harbor and 9/11
    Upholding the Disney Utopia Through American Tragedy: A Study of The Walt Disney Company's Responses to Pearl Harbor and 9/11 Lindsay Goddard Senior Thesis presented to the faculty of the American Studies Department at the University of California, Davis March 2021 Abstract Since its founding in October 1923, The Walt Disney Company has en- dured as an influential preserver of fantasy, traditional American values, and folklore. As a company created to entertain the masses, its films often provide a sense of escapism as well as feelings of nostalgia. The company preserves these sentiments by \Disneyfying" danger in its media to shield viewers from harsh realities. Disneyfication is also utilized in the company's responses to cultural shocks and tragedies as it must carefully navigate maintaining its family-friendly reputation, utopian ideals, and financial interests. This paper addresses The Walt Disney Company's responses to two attacks on US soil: the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941 and the attacks on September 11, 200l and examines the similarities and differences between the two. By utilizing interviews from Disney employees, animated film shorts, historical accounts, insignia, government documents, and newspaper articles, this paper analyzes the continuity of Disney's methods of dealing with tragedy by controlling the narrative through Disneyfication, employing patriotic rhetoric, and reiterat- ing the original values that form Disney's utopian image. Disney's respon- siveness to changing social and political climates and use of varying mediums in its reactions to harsh realities contributes to the company's enduring rep- utation and presence in American culture. 1 Introduction A young Walt Disney craftily grabbed some shoe polish and cardboard, donned his father's coat, applied black crepe hair to his chin, and went about his day to his fifth-grade class.

  • Disney College Program: Valuable Experience Or Trivial Job
    DISNEY COLLEGE PROGRAM: VALUABLE EXPERIENCE OR TRIVIAL JOB By Caitlyn Alexis Teng A capstone project submitted for Graduation with University Honors May 12, 2017 University Honors University of California, Riverside APPROVED _________________________________ Dr. Sean D. Jasso Department of Business Administration _________________________________ Dr. Richard Cardullo, Howard H Hays Jr. Chair and Faculty Director, University Honors Interim Vice Provost, Undergraduate Education Abstract This paper aims to provide aspiring entrepreneurs and companies with insight on what governs a beneficial, successful, and effective internship program. It will apply its findings to Walt Disney Corporation’s College Program to analyze their strengths and weaknesses. It will consider factors, such as corporate culture, compensation programs, and personal development opportunities. The paper will be guided by three principal questions- What constitutes a well-developed internship program? Is Disney exercising effective strategies to produce diligent workers? How do internship programs indirectly and directly affect corporations? For college students, an internship is a way to gain experience, but it is important to know what kind of experience that they would value. The primary objective of this paper is to provide a framework for what students should look for in an internship and what type of internship experience that corporations should provide. I believe that my research will reaffirm that internships should be more than about making money and establishing a job, but also concerned with adding value to individuals. Moreover, I expect to find that Disney has a thriving program since it is a well sought after internship. Lastly, this paper will provide a comprehensive study on the setbacks and benefits of participating in the Disney College Program.

Although the final result seemed lifeless, we can say that the past year was anything but a humdrum ride for market participants. Like a roller coaster, the market bounced up, down, and all around for 12 months, only to end near where it had started. Throughout the year, global investors continued to contend with European financial and political turmoil, unrest in the Middle East, shaky financial ground in Japan, and an ongoing economic slowdown in China, all of which may impact the future growth of the U.S.

    6th Annual MoffettNathanson Media & Communications Summit MAY 14, 2019 Disney Speaker: Bob Iger Chairman and Chief Executive Officer ©Disney MoffettNathanson Media & Communications Summit MAY 14, 2019 PRESENTATION Michael Nathanson – Analyst, MoffettNathanson Okay. My next guest needs no introduction. Bob, thank you for being here. We're really excited. And as part of this conference, he made some news today. So again, thank you for that. He made a big announcement about Hulu's future. For those who haven't checked their phone in the past hour, can you tell us a bit about what the benefits are from this agreement today? Bob Iger – Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, The Walt Disney Company Sure. I’m assuming everybody knows what we did; we concluded an arrangement with Comcast to ultimately buy them out of their 33.33% share of Hulu. We get full operational control from day one, which enables us to run it in ways that obviously gives us access to a number of things, both strategically and otherwise. There are a lot of synergies involved with it. And I think first and foremost, it's the third prong in our direct-to-consumer strategy with ESPN+ and Disney+. We'll be able to manage customers across all platforms -- so customer data, of course, password, username, billing, all those sorts of things. It’ll give us the ability to bundle, which is a big deal, and share data. Advertising or ad-sales is another benefit of all of this because we'll integrate it with our ad-sales across our other platforms.

  • Change of Guard in the House of Mouse: Disney's
    Berkeley Center for Law and Business University of California, Berkeley School of Law Boalt Hall #7200 Berkeley, CA 94720-7220 Change of Guard in the House of Mouse: Disney’s Longtime CEO Steps Down By Chris Gronseth, J.D. Candidate 2022 | March 9, 2020 Bob Iger, Time’s 2019 Person of the Year, surprised many on Wall Street and in Hollywood when he abruptly ended his tenure as CEO of The Walt Disney Company. Iger was Disney’s CEO for almost 15 years and oversaw massive changes while at the helm. When Iger assumed leadership in 2005, the company was stagnating from slow growth, but Iger spearheaded major Disney initiatives by expanding Disney’s existing theme parks and launching Shanghai Disneyland. Iger also oversaw Disney’s acquisitions of Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, and 21st Century Fox, effectively transforming the company into a multimedia giant. Iger delayed his retirement several times in recent years, but many expected him to remain as CEO until his employment contract expired in December 2021. The recent launch of Disney Plus – Disney’s streaming solution to changing consumer-viewing habits – may have provided Iger the needed cover to step down. Note that Iger will still remain at Disney and serve as Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors until the end of his 2021 contract. Iger reports that his resignation was planned for months and the strategic move allows him to focus more on the creative side of Disney’s businesses. Regardless, analysts hope that Iger’s residual role at Disney will allow for a smoother transition.
